Summary: Sirius' death through his eyes.

A/N: I first posted this way back but it's decent, so I figured why not repost it. There are so many people in this fandom it's doubtful someone would see it twice anyway.

Veiled

A red streak

Flies over my head,

Screams surround me,

Yet I laugh.

She scowls;

I taunt her.

She glares, but without a word

Casts a spell. More red.

I'm caught off-guard. Frozen.

Blackness edges my vision.

Falling, falling, falling,

Ever so slowly.

I feel the soft fabric

Swoosh around me.

Screams; then,

Release. Darkness.

And light. Bright light—

Far in the distance.

I will myself towards it,

But it stays ever out of reach.

Suddenly, I'm there.

Two figures—whispering.

They beckon;

It's my turn to whisper.

"James…Lily…"

They beam.

I'm home.
